    ST. LOUIS & ST CHARLES MISSOURI

    Also in St. Pete (Hi Gator!) Haven't tried anything but muni parks yet and Peaceful Valley Lake in Owensville MO. Schiller Camera in Manchester sells DJI, but best deals are still on Ebay.

    Poll: How many batteries do you have for your P3?

    This has probably been answered elsewhere... but how many batteries can you go through in a day's flying before your controller runs out of juice anyway?

    Had first flight yesterday with newest firmware, newest Android DJI GO software, and new RC firmware. Zero problems!

    What Shade/ Hood Do You Use for your Ipad Mini?

    I use DJI official sun shade. DJI wants more money to ship it than it costs, but you can get it on Amazon.

    Christmas is coming.. looking for advice on a gift

    Syma x5 is also highly popular and looks like a phantom... has both camera and FPV versions available. Then there is the larger Syma x8 which is close to size of the Phantom.

    Bought a cheap p3 pro

    MSRP on P3S is less than was the MSRP on P2V+. DJI improved cost on the P3S and passed on the savings to consumers. Still better to spend a little more for a P3A tho!

    Same Batteries P3 Advanced and P3 Pro? Can Get Better Charger P3A?

    Also, the official DJI chargers CAN charge a battery and the flight controller at the same time - but it is recommended that you don't.

    Question about backpacks

    I was considering Fearless but there are several complaints that Phantom doesn't fit or fits so tightly the owner fears it will damage the quad.

    Question about backpacks

    Again, the backpack in the video review is, in fact, an official DJI backpack. There are two official models with only differences being the logo and the style of the zipper-pull. This backpack is also available at B&H Photo and Video... when you check out you are given the choice between...

    Best screen sunshade?

    I got the OEM DJI sunshade from Amazon. The DJI website was nuts... they wanted $20 for shipping!

    Phantom 3 fell from the sky today (lost power?)

    I think an earlier post nailed it. The drone suddenly lost power and fell, and you said the battery was seperated from the Phantom when you recovered it. Was the battery recepticle on the Phantom damaged? If not, I bet the battery was not fully snapped in place prior to launch and it shimmied...

    Bought a cheap p3 pro

    Most likely a scam. There is a specific scammed selling non-existent Phantom 3s all over the world on Ebay. But you are 100% covered! Ask seller for a tracking number (he won't respond.) Then after 5 days launch a complaint with Ebay that you haven't received your item. They will take care of you!
